Dominica Events: What’s In Store For 2012
Carnival (20 – 21 February)
Carnival, or ‘The Real Mas’, is a pre-Lenten festival, and is unquestionably the most festive season in Dominica. From January and into February, Dominicans and visitors alike are invited to join in Carnival activities taking place across the Nature Island including parades, Calypso, Junior Monarch, Teen and Queen Pageant, carnivals and much more, climaxing on 20-21 February.
Tourism Awareness Month (May)
The Tourism Awareness Month is organised in an effort to increase awareness of the tourism and hospitality industry’s economic, cultural and social contributions to Dominica. It will be celebrated for the fifth consecutive year in 2012, under the theme, ‘Tourism is Everybody’s Business, Let’s Play Our Part’. Many activities are planned throughout the month including clean up and beautification projects, a Health & Wellness Expo and Paint-a-Thon to revive some of the older buildings.
